Coach Talk

Saddlers
Kudos to you, Saddlers. Nice job assembling a lineup that recorded more than 100 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum going as we head into our Week 2 matchup.
TOUCHDOWN
TOUCHDOWN may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 36 times in Week 1. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group tallied just 21 receptions.
